Question:

Two coherent sources of light can be obtained from which of the following?

Options:

Two different lamps

Two different lamps but of the same colour

Two different lamps of the same colour and having the same colour

None

Correct Answer:

None

Explanation:

The wavelength, frequency or phase difference will differ in all of these. Coherent sources can be produced

1. Upon dividing a single wavefront into two halves, we can get two coherent sources of waves which has identical frequency and waveforms, and constant phase difference.

2. Wavefront division uses mirrors, lenses, and prisms to split the wavefront into two or more pieces
